The market is demanding not to be bombed with spam, not to not receive
mail from dialups. At least the way i see it.

It's not broken, it's just that, i fits better my needs if i deliver mail
directly.

There is no competition, since i'm not considering hiring your services
nor anyone elses. Anyway, i would _never_ hire the services of someone,
who considered a policy of rejecting mail address to me, that i consider
legitimate and they don't. (i tend to dislike people, who think they know
best in behalf of others) I much prefer to get some spam, than to lose
some legitimate mail.

I will deal with that problem, when the moment arrives.

Individual people can't register .pt domains. And even if i had a fixed
domain, no ISP here offers a fixed IP address. (at least not without
paying _huge_ amounts of money)
